(28,979 posts)We don't know what the Feds will do. They could aggressively shut down grow operations and pot stores. No one knows what that even means. The state is seeing dollar signs. People who are already breeding pot plants have an edge and the rootstock. They already control it like sharecroppers. The really good bud comes from certain plants. Starts off those plants cost an arm and a leg. Will tobacco companies appropriate the hippie/biker culture pot grown in the Pacific Northwest and adulterate it with chemicals, turn it into something that looks and smokes like a Marlboro? Big business is no doubt ready to invade our state.
I hope if there is money to be made it is made by the citizens of this state not some multinational corporations.
We have a lot of wheatfields in this state. I wonder how long before they all start growing bud? It will be interesting to watch what happens in the next few years.
Do you really think the rank and file Democrat opposes legalization? I figure it's coming eventually. From the West to the East. This time our age was an advantage as we formed our Constitutions. We could see that many in the East had no direct voice in their state governments having long since ceded such power away. So we gave voters the right introduce legislation. It is a headache at times, but it should be a feature at every level of our government.
